Description NEW YORKERS WILL SAY GOODBYE TO THE 22-YEAR-OLD SINGER AALIYAH AT A PRIVATE MEMORIAL TO BE HELD AT THE FRANK E. CAMPBELL FUNERAL HOME ON MANHATTAN'S UPPER EAST SIDE FRIDAY.
Script LEAD: AS FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS ARE MADE FOR R&B STAR AALIYA, INVESTIGATORS ARE MAKING NEW DEVELOPMENTS INTO THE CRASH THAT KILLED HER AND EIGHT OTHERS AS THEY TOOK OFF FROM AN ISLAND IN THE BAHAMAS AUGUST 25. SCRIPT: (VO) NEW YORKERS WILL SAY GOODBYE TO THE 22-YEAR-OLD AT A PRIVATE MEMORIAL TO BE HELD AT THE FRANK E. CAMPBELL FUNERAL HOME ON MANHATTAN'S UPPER EAST SIDE FRIDAY. THE SINGER WAS BORN IN BEDFORD-STUYVESANT, BROOKLYN, AND GREW UP IN DETROIT, MICHIGAN. SHE HAD TWO PLATINUM ALBUMS, AND RELEASED A THIRD LAST MONTH. HER SECOND ALBUM "ONE IN A MILLION" WENT DOUBLE PLATINUM. EARLIER, THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION SAID THE PILOT FLYING THE CESSNA PLANE WAS NOT AUTHORIZED TO FLY BECAUSE HE HAD BEEN IN COURT ON A CRACK COCAINE CHARGE 12 DAYS EARLIER. OFFICIALS ARE STILL TRYING TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE CRASH. THERE ARE REPORTS THE PLANE WAS CARRYING 1,500 POUNDS OVER ITS TAKEOFF WEIGHT, BUT INVESTIGATORS WILL NOT SAY FOR SURE. AALIYAH AND HER ENTOURAGE WERE IN THE BAHAMAS TO SHOOT A MUSIC VIDEO, AND THE PLANE WAS HEADED BACK TO FLORIDA AT THE TIME OF THE ACCIDENT. SHE ALSO STARRED IN SEVERAL MOVIES, INCLUDING "ROMEO MUST DIE," AND WAS SET TO STAR IN THE SEQUEL TO "THE MATRIX."
